Microsoft Azure Object Storage Considerations and Limitations

Consider the following limitations:

• [For Microsoft Azure Blob storage] Veeam Backup & Replication supports specific types of storage accounts and tiers. For more information, see Microsoft Azure Storage Accounts.
• Veeam Backup & Replication supports the Versioning feature for Microsoft Azure object storage repositories for which immutability is enabled.
• [For Microsoft Azure Blob storage] Veeam Backup & Replication does not support soft delete for blobs.
• [For Microsoft Azure Archive storage] Microsoft Azure has certain limits (quotas) on maximum amount of resources used. The quotas depend on the type of proxies you have selected. If you exhaust a quota, you will be unable to use Microsoft Azure Archive storage. For more information about Microsoft Azure quotas, see Microsoft Docs.
• Veeam Backup & Replication performs operations only on a blob level. You cannot create Azure containers or storage accounts from the backup infrastructure.
• Veeam Backup & Replication does not support object-level immutability and default immutability policies assigned to Azure storage accounts. You must set immutability for an Azure container where backed-up objects will reside. For more information, see Microsoft Docs.
• Veeam Backup & Replication supports all types of Azure Storage redundancy. For more information, see Microsoft Docs.
